Shangguan Ying'er was about to reprimand the disciple when Cang Qin's voice came through, "Junior nephew, he is not wrong. Although he is not one of my disciples, he is also not one of your master's disciples, so it is not your place to teach him a lesson."
After a pause, Cang Qin continued, "I didn't expect you to come with Ling Mo Xie and the others. Hmph!"
"Ling Mo Xie, since you're here, come in! Now you should understand, right? Competing with Qi'er is simply seeking your own demise!" Cang Qin did not criticize Shangguan Ying'er further; he merely coldly snorted at her before turning to Ling Mo Xie.
Shangguan Ying'er's master held a higher status in the Azure Emperor Sect than Cang Qin, so although he was displeased with Shangguan Ying'er associating with Ling Mo Xie and the others, he could not do anything to her.
Hearing Cang Qin's words, Ling Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and cast a Life Drain skill on the Azure Emperor Sect disciple who had been shouting at him earlier. He smiled and said, "Since this guy is not one of your disciples, I hope you won't mind if I punish him a bit."
"After all, he is not your disciple!"
"You!" Cang Qin was furious upon seeing Ling Mo Xie's actions. A powerful aura emanated from the tent but was quickly reined back in. He angrily said, "Are you going to come in or not? Qi'er has been waiting for this moment for a long time; you wouldn't want to back out now, would you?"
"Back out? The word does not exist in my dictionary. Let me see what kind of grand performance you all are putting on," Ling Mo Xie replied with a light laugh upon noticing Cang Qin's concern about his own backing.
Cang Qin snorted coldly, "I want to see if you can still laugh later!" After that, no more sounds came from the tent.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at the Azure Emperor Sect disciple enveloped by his Life Drain skill, draining his vitality, and led Sun Xiaoxiao and the others into the tent.
Upon entering the luxurious and massive tent, they saw a temporary high platform set up in the center. Although it was temporary, it was still quite splendid, indicating that the Azure Emperor Sect was indeed wealthy!
Surrounding the platform were seats filled with individuals from various big families or highly skilled individuals from Tianfeng City.
As soon as Ling Mo Xie and his group arrived, many gazes turned towards them. They were aware of Ling Mo Xie's bet with Ning Qi and displayed various expressions—some were eager for a show, some looked disdainful, while others showed slight concern, perhaps due to the benefits they received from the pills sold by Ling Mo Xie's family.
"Clap! Clap!" Ling Mo Xie looked around and clapped his hands with an ambiguous smile in his tone. "The setup here is quite impressive!"
"Hmph! Ling Mo Xie, I see you're not giving up until you reach the Yellow River. Are you still unwilling to admit defeat?" Ning Qi suddenly appeared from somewhere.
Originally, according to their plan, Ning Qi was supposed to show up after building anticipation among these people. However, upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's ambiguous words, Ning Qi couldn't hold back and came out on his own.
"Admit defeat? Why should I admit defeat? Have I already lost?" Ling Mo Xie replied with a carefree smile, looking at Ning Qi in surprise.
"You stubborn duck!" Ning Qi shot a dark glance at Ling Mo Xie, completely disregarding their original plan. He walked directly onto the high platform and addressed the nearly full audience, "You all know about my competition with Ling Mo Xie, right? Now is the moment to determine the winner! Bring out our elixirs!"
The person responsible for presenting the elixirs was taken aback by Ning Qi's words; their original plan wasn't to bring out the elixirs so soon!
"Hmph! What are you still dawdling for? Go!" Cang Qin approached that person and said impatiently.
Ning Qi was really too anxious. After all, Ling Mo Xie had no room left for resistance; why was he in such a hurry? He was completely ruining his own plan!
However, since Ning Qi had already spoken, it wouldn't be appropriate to undermine him, so they had to go along with it.
Upon hearing Cang Qin's command, the disciple of the Azure Emperor responsible for delivering the elixirs finally stopped hesitating and walked up to the high platform holding a tray covered with red cloth.
When that disciple respectfully handed the tray containing the elixirs to Ning Qi, who had been waiting impatiently, he snatched it away and glared fiercely at the disciple of the Azure Emperor for making him wait so long, almost embarrassing him in front of everyone!
At this moment, however, the "audience" below had no time to pay attention to Ning Qi's expression; all their eyes were fixed on the tray containing the elixirs. Many of them had family members who were afflicted by resentment, so this elixir for dispelling resentment was very important to them!
Seeing their eager gazes, a smug look flashed in Ning Qi's eyes as he turned to look at Ling Mo Xie. Now he must be feeling scared, right? Haha!
But when he looked at Ling Mo Xie with a proud smile, his expression instantly froze. That guy was actually laughing and chatting with the two women beside him, not even glancing in Ning Qi's direction!
What made Ning Qi even more furious was the presence of two women beside Ling Mo Xie. One was the fiery girl he had his eye on, and the other was none other than the goddess revered by everyone in the Azure Emperor's sect, Shangguan Ying'er!
"Hmph! You must be feeling proud right now, but I want to see how you'll beg me later! If you lose, the stakes will be mine to decide!" Ning Qi retracted his smug expression and cast a cold gaze at Ling Mo Xie, thinking to himself.
His pride stemmed from wanting to see the fear on Ling Mo Xie's face; otherwise, he had experienced too much admiration from others to feel genuinely proud.
On the surface, Ning Qi regained his composure and spoke in a calm tone, "The elixir for dispelling resentment is extremely difficult to refine. Therefore, today only one hundred pills will be distributed, ten of which will be consumed on the spot for testing."
"What? Only one hundred pills?" "How can one hundred be enough? That's so little..." "Lord Ning, just tell us what we need to exchange... Please distribute a bit more!" "..."
Upon hearing that Ning Qi would only distribute one hundred pills, the crowd around them erupted from their previous silence into a cacophony of voices. Everyone clamored to offer conditions in hopes that Ning Qi would distribute more elixirs.
Sun Xiaoxiao looked worriedly at the bustling crowd and frowned as she spoke to Ling Mo Xie, "Mo Xie, this..."
"What? Don't you believe what I'm saying? Just wait and see; soon there won't be so many people fighting over them!" Before Ling Mo Xie could respond, Shangguan Ying'er shot her a glance and said.
"Hmph! Of course I don't believe you; you're from the Azure Emperor's sect. Who knows whose side you're really on?" Sun Xiaoxiao retorted, glaring at Shangguan Ying'er with her bright eyes.
Ling Mo Xie turned around and flicked Sun Xiaoxiao's forehead playfully, smiling as he said, "Haha! No need to worry, no need to worry. Just enjoy the show."
Ning Qi watched as people scrambled to bid, fearing they might miss out. A smirk crept onto his lips; the feeling of controlling others' fates brought him joy. However, Ling Mo Xie's presence and attitude irritated him greatly!
"I don't mind telling you all that due to time constraints, this batch of elixirs for dispelling resentment isn't fully matured and may have some issues."
Ning Qi had no intention of hiding this fact because he knew that even if they were aware of the risks, these people would still flock eagerly towards the elixirs he held.
Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, the crowd fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere grew tense. Among them was an aggressive individual who questioned Ning Qi angrily, "Is this how your Azure Emperor's sect operates? How dare you deceive us? Don't think that just because you're a major sect..."
"Exactly, exactly! Aren't you just messing with us?"
"No, no, no, no! This is not deception, nor am I messing with you." Ning Qi raised his hand and shook it, interrupting the person. He said, "Listen carefully, there may be problems, but there are also people who have successfully dispelled the Resentment. If you don't believe me, I can call those people out to show you!"
Hearing Ning Qi's words, the two exchanged glances and sat down, no longer speaking. As long as this Elixir could dispel the Resentment, they didn't care whether there were any issues!
They had already been tormented enough by this Resentment. Their closest relatives lay silently in bed, and there was even a possibility that they could turn into monsters at any moment and become their enemies!
Ning Qi saw their reactions and smiled knowingly. "Alright! Now let me show you the effects of this Elixir!"
"Because those most affected by the Resentment are still us commoners at the bottom, the first ten will be given to them. You have no objections, right?" Ning Qi said sincerely, but only he knew what he truly thought.
The ten fortunate commoners selected to take the Elixir were moved to tears by Ning Qi's "sincere" words. Who said that disciples of a great Sect are arrogant? Who said that disciples of a great Sect oppress commoners?
Look at Ning Qi; isn't he a disciple of a great Sect? Yet he treats us commoners so well and thinks of us!
"Hmph! Hypocritical little man!" Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the triumphant Ning Qi on stage and the commoners walking up with grateful expressions, crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"I agree with that!" Even Shangguan Ying'er couldn't help but respond. The two exchanged glances, and for once, there was no spark of conflict in their eyes.
